  1. How long are the tag ends? I can sometimes have a momentary hang if i leave an 8th or even 16th of an inch tag end. Tighten the knot as much as you can, then cut as close as you can. When I have tied a good double-uni, I don't hang much at all. Love that knot. Also use the Mod'd Albright, aka Alberto. Cinched down well, tag cut close, excellent knot. And like @OkobojiEagle said, smaller diameter lines will help, if you can use 'em. I use 10, 15, and 20# braid and tie leaders up to 15#. Usually no issues with either double-uni, and really no issues with Mod'd Albright/Alberto.
  2. Welcome aboard!
  3. Welcome aboard!
  4. I love this move!
  5. ANOTHER O. M. G.!!! CROATIA!!!
  6. Welcome aboard! Can't help with your question, but a number of GA folks here will soon chime in!
  7. Big congrats! Hoss of a hawg!
  8. O. M. G. RUSSIA!!! What a SAVE!!! Spain is OUT!
  9. I think it's all good games from here. Croatia is very dangerous.
  10. Sad day for Ronaldo and Messi fans... Some great soccer though. At least we've had no biting issues with Suarez!! In the Uruguay v France match, I predict France.
  11. Much better game, France vs. Argentina. Last second chance came so close for Argentina. My son said, "Dad, Messi should have taken that last shot rather than pass it off..." And I agree, but alas, the younger legs of France (Mbappe!!) go on. I do have to say, Argentina's defense was way too porous in the end.
  12. Congrats on that beast of a gar, Blue!
  13. Welcome aboard!
  14. Gamakatsu for me. Finesse Wide Gap from 2, 1, 1/0, 2/0
  15. Welcome aboard!

    Hi !

    Welcome aboard!
  17. Mexico...BUT...Ronaldo. He carries Portugal and is formidable. With what he did against Spain...gonna be a tough game for Mexico, especially if they play like they did against Sweden.
  18. Oh yes. Now the World Cup begins!!
  19. Welcome aboard!
  20. Impressive!
  21. Well yeah, but ... the assumption is that you are not in the grip of the snake, immobilized. They strike hard and would wrap you pretty quick. Would be lucky if someone was with you and had some hard liquor or rubbing alcohol they could use. It isn't like you would even have the ability to do so by yourself.
  22. Oh my. My youngest son, a soccer player, loves Neymar, and gets after me when I tell him he's (Neymar) a whiner and actor. Not demeaning his talent, but I 100% agree. What was it 7 rolls after a minor foul? Absolutely ridiculous.
  23. Yes, for wacky rigs. But not often. And...ahem...for bass fishermen, we call them floats . Makes them sound less "stuff of kids".
  24. Agreed. They were my pick going in. Now I'm wavering between Belgium, Croatia, Brazil... But it really is all about which team shows up to play at any given game! Been a good World Cup to watch so far.
